Ghana has a strong team to win the AFCON – GFA President
President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, is optimistic that the Black Stars have the quality to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon next year.
Ghana will be hoping to end the long wait of winning another AFCON title since 1982.
The Black Stars last made a final appearance at the continental showpiece in 2015, where they lost dramatically on penalties to La Cote D’Ivoire.
Milovan Rajevac’s side have an opportunity to end their trophy drought with the tournament taking place in Cameroon next year and the GFA president believes Ghana has what it takes to secure the title.

“Currently we have qualified to the AFCON (2021), people think that it is a given but it has come through hard work and soon we shall be in Cameroon to try to rewrite history,” Okraku said during the Executive Council’s meet the press in Kumasi.
“It’s been 40 odd years since Ghana won the AFCON but I believe we have a group of super-dedicated players who want to write their names in history and who would fight for glory and honour for Ghana at the AFCON.”
The Black Stars are in Group C of the tournament with Morocco, Gabon and Comoros and will begin its campaign against Morocco before facing Gabon and Comoros in the group stage of the competition.
